The high waist on her hand-beaded, champagne-toned evening gown gives the dress a modern, mature look while the petaly bottom looks youthful and fun (although my colleague says the petals look like barnacles). The gown weighed, in her estimation, “A hundred thousand pounds.”

While I don’t love the dress overall, I do like that she’s not going for sexy and revealing (she is 16, after all).

And, on a side note, Nicole Ritchie announced she’s pregnant (and Jennifer Aniston will be at the Oscar’s tonight).
